PC sudden shutdowns

[Balthizaar]

Hello,

So, recently my computer overheated and shut down. This was due at first to the graphics card not getting enough ventilation, so with some shifting, that was solved. However, after playing a few minutes of Spec Ops: The Line, and State of Decay, the computer suddenly shut off without warning. I thought this was due to the overclocker being on, although the computer does play games like World Of Warcraft and Smite on max settings completely fine. However, when I try to access my bios to make sure the overclocker isn't on, the computer just shuts down without warning the second I hit f2 to go into it. Not sure if it's the power supply going out or if there's anything I can do to cut the overclocker manually if that even is the issue?

sometimes improper overclocking can damage your system ... i don't know what psu and gpu u are using but sudden power outs can be a result of a faulty psu or a psu which is not sufficient to provide the adequate amount of power necessary .... remove your gpu borrow a psu form someone and test your system with it..
